Woman Dies After Silicone Injections

Widespread panic has come over California this morning, as a young mom was found dead in her Orange County home, after experiencing severe reactions to an illegal and potentially lethal cosmetic treatment - silicone butt injections. The procedure was performed by two shady women claiming to be doctors from Mexico – and are now on the run!

This breaking story has reached the news at a national level causing a wave of raised eyebrows across the country. However, these practices are not uncommon and are happening more frequently right here in Central Florida. 

At least once a month, we see patients here in our Orlando, Florida Plastic Surgery, Hair Restoration and Skin Care Center that have had these same procedures. Doctors from foreign countries enlist American citizens to help them attract patients for injection of industrical grade silicone in hotel rooms and homes in the Central Florida region. These patients often experience abnormalities and infection, prompting them to contact our practice looking for remedy and treatment- when they find that the "doctor" who performed the procedure has left the country.

So, you might ask – Where do patients hear about these dangerous procedures?

The providers of these illegal services often advertise in publications such as La Prensa, to lure in patients with the promise of a more round and prominent derriere such as those of Kim Kardashian and J.Lo. 


Meanwhile, the doctor’s business partners are strategically placed around United States to solicit the procedure to women of interest- often preying on recent immigrants from Central and South America. Once a group of women are ready to schedule their surgery, a foreign doctor flies in to perform the procedure in hotel rooms and local housing areas - all in one day.

If you are interested in enhancing your buttock area, be sure to do your research before looking any further. 


The ONLY safe option for buttock enhancement is to have a Brazilian Butt Lift or Butt Implant procedure performed by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, such as Dr. Armando Soto.
